This book seller didn't tell us some pages are missing in this book. If I knew it, I didn't buy this book. Because I need this book im my class, I may have to buy another one.
I don't recommend this book seller.

4.0 out of 5 stars Business English for the 21st Century, September 28, 2009

By	Elizabeth A. Mccallister "beth" (missouri) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I had an older edition of this book, and I loved it. Unfortunately, I lost the book, and I decided to purchase a newer edition. I was disappointed to learn this edition has no answers, unlike the older edition. I would have given this book 5 stars, but I was really hoping for an answer key. Aside from that, the book has many helpful exercises and good explanations.
